Seminary Bais Yaakov Bnos Raizel
For the past 34
years, our two-year seminary program has been training young Jewish women to
teach at all levels of Jewish Education. This is done through a well-rounded
program which, besides core courses in Jewish subjects includes classes in
classroom management, lesson preparation, and child psychology. The students
also give model lessons which are monitored and perfected.
The hallmark of our Seminary is creating an enthusiasm for learning and
understanding the words of Chazal(our sages) in many diverse subjects. With our
staff of highly qualified mechanchim (Rabbis) and Mechanchos (teachers), the
Torah is truly felt as a living Torah.
The curriculum provides
intensive study in Judaic courses, as well as selected college courses, fully
qualifying the graduate to teach or to assume positions of leadership in the
community. Emphasis is placed on the development of independent learning skills,
and on the ability to apply learning to real-life situations. Students are also
presented with a wide variety of teaching methodologies to help them effectively
transmit information and values. As part of our curriculum, we want our students
to benefit from a broader range of topics and have therefore added
mini-courses.
In addition, there are a
number of ongoing activities that complement the curriculum. These include guest
lecturers by prominent personalities in the Torah world, educational and social
activities, (i.e Melava Malkaas, Shabbatons, Visits to other schools etc.), Rosh
Chodesh trips and Chesed Programs.
